Nikhilipi alphabet

The Nikhilipi alphabet is the creation of Nikhil Sinha. It is designed
to write any Indo-Aryan language and, with a few additional letters, the
Dravidian languages as well. The name combines Nikhil's first name and
the word lipi, which means script in Hindi.

Notable features

Can be used to write just about any Indo-Aryan language and,
with a few additional letters, the Dravidian languages as well.

With a few modification can also be used to write Sinhalese
and Maldivian (Divehi), which are Indo-Aryan languages but are very
much influenced by Dravidian languages

Nikhilipi is alphabetic, unlike most Indian scripts, and it
is phonemic, like all Indian scripts.

The pronunciation of the letters varies according to the language
which is being written. For example the letter 'a' will be pronounced
differently in Hindi and Bengali.

The consonants are arranged into groups according to the way they
are pronounced, like other Indian scripts. Consonants in the same group
all have the same basic shape.

Long vowels are formed by putting the long vowel sign after the
corresponding short vowel.
